Our cabinet maker is making some simple cherry wood countertops for our 2 counters which will be food prep areas - one next to the stove, the other off more to itself w/baking stuff in cabinets. The sink countertop has been tiled. What are the options for finishing the surface? We will not be cutting on the surface, as we will use cutting boards, but we will have food in contact with the wood - making a peanut butter sandwich, setting down fruit, sprinkling flour for rolling sugar cookies, etc. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the different finishes? Any advice appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Most any wood finish is food safe once cured so long as you do not cut on it. Many people here have used waterlox (or other tung oil like products) because it can be touched up without re-sanding. Since we plan to cut on ours we are just doing mineral oil, possibly upping to mineral oil + bees wax later if we want a longer lasting protection. |

we had a cherry countertop in our old kitchen for 10 years, just sealed with tungg oil. it held up so well, all we did was oil it every few months , no biggie we used it pretty much like you are describing it wore so well and we liked it so much that we used cherry again in our new kitchen, including around the sink.... this time we opted for a marine finish |

I forgot to add, this topic has been discussed many times, so I would try a GW search. You will find many threads that are useful. |
We used Waterlox on the woodwork throughout our house, including our wood island top. We have a kitchen table that came already finished and it was always obviously inferior to our Waterlox finished wood. When one of my daughter's friends spilled fingernail polish remover on it, where it went down to bare wood in a second, I took the opportunity to strip it all down and Waterlox it. I feel like the Waterlox is almost bulletproof. I know it's not an issue for you, but it's really done well around the prep sink in our island. |

I'm probably old school, but I agree with brickton. Mineral oil and beeswax. Don't know about anyone else, but I prefer the natural things when it comes to my food and it's prep. |
- Posted by laurielou177 (My Page) on Sat, Sep 17, 11 at 10:19
Thanks for advice so far. I did read a lot of older threads on this. The hard part, is I could be completely convinced by the arguements of the mineral oil crowd at the same time I can be convinced by the Waterlox crowd. Both sides seem so convincing! I like the more care-free waterlox, but also like the more natural oil or oil and beeswax combos when it comes to food. It looks like from reading waterlox stuff that we could try the mineral oil method and if it's not working for us, then go the waterlox route, after following the waterlox instructions for treating a surface that's been oiled in past. Anyone do that w/sucess? We are really looking forward to counters going in. Right now we have leftover plywood on tops. |

Have you read this link fro the Waterlox site? Scroll down to the "Waterlox Versus Other Finishes" section, it may be helpful. http://www.waterlox.com/about/ |
We debated about this for a really long time and went with Waterlox low VOC in the end. It came out beautifully and I really, really love it! We also used the mineral oil/beeswax combo in the old kitchen on our butcher block, which I did cut on occasionally (though not often). It was okay, but took a lot of maintenance to keep it looking pristine and still has some stains. Good if you want to cut on it since Waterlox isn't an option then, but if that's not important I think the easy cleanup of the Waterlox v. the mineral oil/beeswax is well worth it. (I caught my husband, whose project it was, dropping drips of water on it, watching them bead, and then wiping them up at one point. :) I think he did two (maybe three?) coats of regular Waterlox on both sides and then four of Waterlox satin finish on the exposed surfaces. The satin was much harder to work with, FWIW. I'm using a tung oil mix on some unfinished furniture today, so might have thoughts after that as far as comparison, too. |

Laurie, If you are on the fence, I think the crux of the matter is this - do you often prepare food directly on a counter (of any type). I do not. I always have a plate, a chopping board, even the bag an item came in. I just do not usually put things right on the counter because, if you did... 1) you would want to clean the counter first and 2) you will have to clean the counter after. Simpler to use something under my food. Since I don't use the counter directly, I was okay with the marine varnish. I wanted wood around a sink and an integrated drainboard, so I thought marine varnish was probably best. This despite the fact we used no VOC paint for the whole house (at much greater cost and coverage issues) and nothing synthetic on our random width wide plank pine, and we eat organic (so we do care about this stuff!). I did not notice an off-gas fyi. One last note - some people use the term "tung oil" and do not mean pure "tung oil". |
- Posted by laurielou177 (My Page) on Mon, Sep 19, 11 at 8:20
Still deciding on this! Mtnrdredux - your comments are reassuring, as you looked into no VOC paint for rest of house ( we considered this too, but didn't). As far as whether I put food directly on countertop, it depends. When most of my family packs their lunch in the morning, they don't. They place the bread on the counter, make their sandwich, get out their fruit and set it down, etc. Nothing high tech, but they don't generally use a plate. I myself, generally do use a plate. I still think that's probably fine to use Waterlox w/that amount of contact. A couple other points that might help to understand use and looks for the top - we are a generally messy family, which leads me more to waterlox, and we are bringing our kitchen back to a more period 1920's look, so we are not looking for anything too shiny, but still need practical. We are heavy, daily kitchen users. And, we lived w/prior owner's kitchen for 16 yrs, and expect to keep this one forever, or as long as we are here (at least another 10 yrs). I suppose that doesn't matter much for the wood finish choices, but maybe give some kind of insight. |

I went back and forth between mineral oil and waterlox too and decided to go with mineral oil because I like the matte/natural finish and being able to cut on it. When I put the mineral oil on the bottom to try it out, I did not like the color of the wood. My top is black walnut from Craft Art's DIY store. It was too light and had an orange tint. It was confusing because many pics I had seen on the web of bw were darker and had less grain... I decided to stain the top a darker color and eliminate some of the graininess. Here's a picture of just the mineral oil: After staining, the mineral oil finish was not an option, so I had to go with the Waterlox. Here is a picuture after staining and with several coats of original Waterlox. I just put the Satin on last night, so the top has a bit more shine in this pic than it will when I'm finished. Now that I have the Waterlox on I'm reall glad I don't have to worry about water rings and stains. I have three kids and that would have been a constant issue. I realize I'm glad for the protection. It is my favorite thing in the kitchen and I would hate to always be worried about stains on it. I went with a really dark stain but I love it! |

jillandmatt - that is a gorgeous kitchen! We've been using just mineral oil since Jan when our new maple boos countertops were installed. Initially I'd planned on doing waterlox, but then the installer recommended just mineral oil, so I figured we'd try it. It just didn't work for us in that even oiling daily, it just didn't seem to build any resistance. We ended up with rings from glasses all the time, and ended up with stains from when the 7yo makes a sandwich and isn't super careful with the jam. Has anyone gone to waterlox after the mineral oil? Any recommendations? |
- Posted by laurielou177 (My Page) on Tue, Sep 20, 11 at 15:12
Thanks jillandmatt andcookingof joy. Somehow I didn't realize any more posts to this thread, and asked a similar ?, but more of a pure tung oil vs mineral oil ? today, and asked for some pictures. Your experiences both lean again more towards the waterlox. I'd kind of decided to just go w/mineral oil or pure tung oil, as it looks like you can go to waterlox afterwards when I read the waterlox site. But, then again maybe not? I was hoping to hear from a few others w/my other thread who had been successful w/mineral oil or pure tung oil, and to figure out whether they have some special tips/tricks that have helped them. Thanks for the pictures. Beautiful. |
- Posted by writersblock (My Page) on Tue, Sep 20, 11 at 15:16
>I'd kind of decided to just go w/mineral oil or pure tung oil Mineral oil and tung oil are VERY different things. Mineral oil is a temporary finish, but any kind of tung oil is a curing finish--you can't cut on it and it has to harden before it becomes food safe. I only mention it since it sounds like you think tung oil is a temporary finish like mineral oil. It isn't. You may or may not want tung oil with resins and hardeners in it (like waterlox), but the general procedure and the type of finish is similar with any kind of tung oil product. Apologies if I misconstrued your post. |
You should look at this thread. It is a mixture of bees wax and mineral oil. |

laurielou - I'm not sure if you're still interested, but I thought I'd post a quick follow-up. I've finished sanding and applying four coats, sanding between each, of Waterlox original finish, the voc version. It dried very quickly, even with the cool temps and rain here, it was drying in about 2-3 hrs. I still waited at least 24 hrs between coats. After that initial drying, the smell is really inoffensive. I started with a foam brush for the first three, but I had trouble with bubbles. For the last coat I used a bristle brush, and I was very happy with how that turned out. Right now it is very glossy. I'll wait til spring, and then if it still seems too glossy, I'll order a quart of the satin for a finish coat. If I were to do it over, I'd use the bristle brush for each coat, still sand between, and only do three coats. Hope your decision-making is going well! |

JillandMatt - WOW that is amazing. I love the rich color. I didn't do the finish myself, I got mine from their custom line. How was the finishing process for you? I have refinished a piece with waterlox sealer/finish and satin finish and it went well. I don't know if this offer still exists.. but I posted my pics of my finished Craft Art tops on their Facebook page and they sent me a free cutting board....(and I emailed them before and after pics because I got to be phone-pals with one of the girls that worked there) not sure if the promo is still going on but can't let a fellow Craft Art black walnut countertop owner miss out. laurielou - My black walnut countertops (pic above) were finished with the Waterlox Tung Oil. No real sheen to them as you can see (this photo was taken day 1 btw). I read up on it and saw that it is organic and natural since Before I had these countertops I had laminate perimeters and a chopping block style island that just had a mineral oil finish. I didn't mind putting the oil on once a month, but it stained and water marked so badly that I was pretty glad I knew that going into this purchase. I knew mineral oil wouldn't work for my lifestyle (and lack of OCD haha). But i couldn't bring myself to part with the chopping block island so I called the company I got my perimeter wood countertop from and they emailed me directions on how to refinish the chopping block. That was pretty cool actually considering I hadn't bought it from them come to think of it. Basically, to refinish the mineral oil chopping block with Tung Oil finish they said to wait till the chopping block was Totally dry (at least a week since putting any oil or water on it). Then sand it down and do the finish. Their directions were way better. If anyone wants them I think I still have them. Let me know and I will try to figure out how to post that. |
- Posted by laurielou177 (My Page) on Wed, Sep 28, 11 at 11:17
Thanks for the beeswax and mineral oil thread. I had read that before, just hadn't seen others as successful as person who did this mix. I do know there is 100% tung oil for finishing vs things that might list tung oil in the name and may or may not have that as part of the ingredients, but are what I've now learned are more of a "wiping varnish" which is supposed to be food safe once dry, and though it still makes me leary, I'll probably go with, at least for the counter next to the stove. Going to spend some time on the woodworkers forum today, as I found some stuff there last week and didn't have time to read it all and have been busy w/company since. A new part of the decision has to do w/color of the cherry tops. They are not at all red, as I'd expected, but much whiter like pine, but w/a pink cast to them. Then someone said cherry turns red over 2-4 yrs. I have some specific questions to ask regarding that part, but will ask on woodworkers forum. Thanks again for input! |
- Posted by jillandmatt (My Page) on Thu, Sep 29, 11 at 6:23
Sarahhomeremodel, Thanks so much for the info on the cutting board. I am going to check that out. BTW, what sheen waterlox did you use. I am having trouble with the Satin, getting it on without looking cloudy or streaky. I also have been told three different application methods. Craft Art says to use a short bristle brush... Waterlox hotline yesterday said do not use a bristle brush, use a regular paint brush with natural bristles... |
- Posted by Capegirl05 (My Page) on Thu, Sep 29, 11 at 8:46
jill, I am just starting the process, but I would think a regular paint brush with natural bristles would be the way to go. I am going by my paint store to look at the Zar stains and I will ask the lady there what she would do for the finish coat. Were you considering the high-gloss? I have read that the finish sheen reduces in time. |
I got a jar of Salad Bowl finish from Rockler (think it's a General Finish product). What I like is it's really easy to refresh the finish - just a light sanding and wipe a thin coat on and let it dry. I had wiped each coat, lightly sanded in between. With 6 coats I had the finish I wanted. My baking center is not used for cutting on, but does have food come in direct contact with it. I really wanted to go with waterlox, but the price (including shipping) scared me away. It's been about 8 months now, and it's showing some wear but holding up as I expected, since it gets used regularly. I have not felt the need to refresh the surface, but I like patina. I use mineral oil on my butcher block island, but that is used as one big cutting board. |
- Posted by jillandmatt (My Page) on Fri, Sep 30, 11 at 6:44
Just an update- I put the 30% Satin/70% original mix of Waterlox on a couple nights ago with a natural birstle brush. I haven't seen it yet (I'll see it today) but my DH saw it and said it looks great. No streaks or cloudiness. I think reducing the amount of the Satin helped too. He said it's not too shiney! Can't wait to see it. We are moving in today!! |
- Posted by Capegirl05 (My Page) on Fri, Sep 30, 11 at 8:14
jill...i spoke with the sales rep from craft-art and that is what she recommended...mixing the two to get best results. Great that you are happy with how it turned out!Hope the move goes well!!! capegirl |

"[Courteney] knows she's not f***ing me, and she's like, 'Listen, I want you to be able to do whatever you have to do,'" he said. Arquette admitted to sleeping with Waltz, whom he called "the girl in the paper," "once ... maybe twice."
He also revealed how he broke the news of the breakup to their 6-year-old daughter, Coco.
"We went to a beach and had a picnic," Arquette said. "[I] explained to her that we're grown-ups, and a lot of the time when grown-ups are growing up, they need to figure out their lives."
At the time Arquette said he hoped the separation won't end in divorce.
"We're still working it out," he told Stern. "We're being very sweet and kind to each other."
But with both parties free to move on -- Arquette told Stern that he and Cox agreed they could be intimate with other people during their separation -- reconciliation may be less than likely.
"You've got two very different kinds of people who have probably not seen eye to eye for years. After the infatuation wore off, they probably realized that," said Helen Fisher, chief scientific adviser to Chemistry.com and author of the relationship analysis tome "Why Him, Why Her?"
"She's what I call the director, he's more of a negotiator," Fisher said. "I'm not surprised that she's being practical about this, and he's being syrupy, because the director type tends to be decisive and tough-minded. She probably found that he was sleeping with someone else and she's not willing to negotiate that. She would probably rather find someone else."
David Arquette was born on a spiritual commune in Winchester, Va. His brother, Robert, became a transwoman and actress, Alexis, in the 1980s. His other siblings -- Patricia, Rosanna and Richmond -- are also involved in show business.
Arquette himself has long marched to the beat of his own drummer. In 2000, he literally leaped into the ring after filming the movie "Ready to Rumble," produced by World Championship Wrestling. Later that year, he became the WCW World Heavyweight Champion and inspired a parody song about his dual acting and wrestling career, "You Cannot Kill David Arquette."

I was born and raised in Bristol, England, thankfully without the Bristolian accent (Let's be honest, not the most soothing accent). I spent my younger years in school with a little bit more of a keen mind for education than the other kids. And loosened up (maybe a little too much) when I moved schools. I decided that I wanted to see the world, to travel; And so I saved up and left. I had this passionate appetite for it and so went on a 3 month trip to Japan, Australia and finally New York in the summer of my 19th birthday. But upon returning home, the majority of my friends began to leave Bristol for university. I didn't feel that university was right for me at the time but I didn't want to be stuck in Bristol, so I moved to London. I was picked up by a modelling agency whilst I dawdled about Oxford Street back when I was 16 years old and ever since I had been working part-time for them. So I took it up full-time by moving to the big smoke. I didn't do much, just enough to get by! I don't think I'd ever be able to be good enough for the industry anyway because of my sweet tooth and the fact it's more of a demanding lifestyle than a job! After five years of keeping the fat at bay, I quit. I soon after moved to Paris to become an au pair, then promptly became an English instructor for the remainder of my time there. And now I'm back in London, not entirely sure of what I'm doing but overall not too worried. Just looking to settle into something nice and simple.

THURSDAY, Aug. 23 (HealthDay News) -- Prostate cancer survival rates in the United States have improved since the introduction of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing, researchers report.
PSA is a protein released into the body by the prostate gland. PSA screening involves measuring the amount of PSA in a man's blood. The higher the PSA level, the more likely it is that a man has prostate cancer.
The new study, published Aug. 23 in The Journal of Urology, found that routine use of PSA testing for prostate cancer screening and monitoring has resulted in earlier and more sensitive detection of the disease. This has led to improved survival for patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer that has spread to the bones or other parts of the body ("metastatic prostate cancer").
In addition, the survival rate for black patients has improved and is now about the same as for whites, the investigators found.
For the study, researchers analyzed data from three clinical trials conducted over the last three decades that evaluated patient survival after androgen (hormone)-deprivation treatment for prostate cancer. Two of the clinical trials were conducted before the introduction of PSA screening, and one took place after.
Median survival was 30 months in the first trial (conducted from 1985 to 1986), 33 months in the second trial (conducted from 1989 to 1994), and 49 months in the third trial (conducted from 1995 to 2009). Patients in the most recent trial also had a 30 percent decreased risk of death, the study found.
Among black patients, median survival was 27 months in the first trial and 48 months in the third trial, which is close to that of white patients, the study authors noted in a journal news release.
This improvement in black patients' survival may be due to greater awareness of prostate cancer and increased likelihood that they will seek health care, suggested lead investigator Dr. Ia

In Indiana, Planned Parenthood is fighting a law that bans Medicaid funds from going to health centers that provide abortions.
The law went into effect immediately after it was signed in May, instantly slashing about $1.3 million from Planned Parenthood's budget.
The group sued for an injunction on the law to keep funds flowing, which was granted last week. Throughout the monthlong funding gap, Planned Parenthood was able to continue seeing Medicaid patients because of the nearly $100,000 in private donations sent from around the world.
"We've been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support," said Kate Shepherd, a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood of Indiana. But, she added,"It is as with a natural disaster when you see donations flood in and then trickle off. We can't sustain it."
Shepherd said that without public funding, Planned Parenthood Indiana would have to close eight of its 28 centers.
"It would be a huge blow because many of our counties are already underserved, according to the federal government," she said. "Many are in more rural areas. If we were to leave, there aren't a lot of options that accept new Medicaid patients."
The U.S. Department of Justice issued a brief on behalf of Planned Parenthood, saying the Indiana law violated Medicaid's federally mandated provision allowing people to choose any qualified provider for their care. The Department of Health and Human Services denied the state's new Medicaid regulations for the same reason. The Obama administration warned that it could halt all Medicaid funds to Indiana if the law was upheld.
Schneider said who the state decides to do business with was a state's rights issue and that the federal government was overstepping its authority by getting involved in the case.
"The Obama administration is trying to beat states into compliance by using federal money or by using a ruling out of HHS to try to force its policy on the states," Schneider said.
Paige Johnson, vice president for public affairs at Planned Parenthood of Central North Carolina, said the plethora of state laws targeting Planned Parenthood are "purely political" and a direct result of Republicans sweeping the 2010 midterm elections.
"This is really, surely a political move on the part of conservative Republicans to mobilize their base in 2012," she said. "North Carolina is going to play heavily in national politics and it is part of their strategy."
Planned Parenthood funding will be cut off in North Carolina today when the state's budget goes into effect. The law specifically denies Planned Parenthood's receiving state money.
"This is an unprecedented move," Johnson said. "North Carolina has never singled out a medical provider and said, You can't do business with the state."
Planned Parenthood is also challenging a law in Montana that prohibits the states' low-income insurance program from covering birth control costs. The law has been on the books for almost a decade. After failed attempts to change it in the legislature, Planned Parenthood filed its lawsuit about a year ago.
The Montana Department of Justice said that while the state cannot prevent people from buying contraceptives, the Constitution does not require the state to subsidize it.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Turned out great! Ordering was easy and I like the option to message the designer. I love weddingpaperdivas received several free samples which help me narrow down my choices. I also love their attention to detail, right down to packaging. I felt very well taken care of. Thank you!!!"
"We absolutely LOVE our invite. This design has a modern yet traditional feel and is slightly whimsical. We didn't like "our wedding" underneath the names and it wasn't a problem to remove it. Our guests love our invite, too. We're going to do something fun/creative with it after the wedding. The back of the card, ironically, matches one of the tiers on our cake. That was a bonus!"
"We ultimately went with a different invite, but this was a VERY close second. It has an old world romantic feel which tied into our romantic theme. The aged look and clean layout were also something we liked about this design."
"The customization of my invites and response cards took a little bit of time, but the design experts got back to me quickly and the process was fun and painless. I am very happy with my results. The paper quality was exactly what I wanted. I would suggest ordering samples before hand so you can get an idea of what paper you like best and to see what the invite with look like as well."
"My fiance and I loved the wedding invitation we ordered. We ordered in the pearl paper (which is a little thicker). I adore the design on the back of the card. The only negative was we had to pay extra for stamps because of the square shape."

I was sitting in a bush and ill admit I was pretty out of it haha. I was tired and had just recently gone bowling. Gragas Q'd into the bush and at the time I wasn't paying any attention, I could've sworn I heard a bowling ball. I started to pay attention to when ever Gragas Q'd and It sounded like a bowling ball every time. So for the skin idea, Bowler Gragas. Or something along those lines. This can be a regular skin or even legendary if enough effects are put into it. What if bowling pins exploded out when he ulted or Q'd. And when he does his dash, what if it looked like he was slipping on a bowling alley lane, you know how it is all slippery. It may seem like a lame idea but it all came to mind just from the sounds of his Q.
Shadowed Ruby
Senior Member
and what the heck is he drinking? lol.
beer hah? or is that against rules to have alcohol in the game?
But is he drinking... from a bowling ball? All his skins still have his alco-barrel. (Vandal has the tin, Oktober has the nice looking, scuba hillbilly and classic have the rough and Esq has a giant wine cooler thingy (forget proper name)).
ahh, well i was just thinking out loud. maybe somone can come up with a good idea!
Don't get me wrong, I love your idea, it's just, odd, to be drinking out of a bowling ball.
Yeah I get what you mean.. If u have any ideas go ahead and throw me out there
The only problem being, how do we keep the integrity of bowling Gragas without having his keg be a bowling ball? I suppose it could be a psuedo ball, a keg made to look like one, and just have the sound/visual effects of bowling.

As a journalist, historian, and novelist born into a distinguished family that included two past presidents of the United States, Henry Adams was inescapably a part of the American experience. The Education of Henry Adams recounts his own and the country's development from 1838, the year of his birth, to 1905. The Civil War, economic expansion, and the growth of the United States are among its subjects, as well as his own 'dynamic theory of history.' An immediate bestseller, the book was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1919. It remains one of the most vital autobiographies ever published and is required reading in many liberal arts degree programs.
Presented unabridged on 16 CDs.
It gets worse. For the author could neither match his exalted ancestors nor dismiss them as dusty relics--he was an Adams, after all, formed from the same 18th-century clay. "The atmosphere of education in which he lived was colonial," we are told,
revolutionary, almost Cromwellian, as though he were steeped, from his greatest grandmother's birth, in the odor of political crime. Resistance to something was the law of New England nature; the boy looked out on the world with the instinct of resistance; for numberless generations his predecessors had viewed the world chiefly as a thing to be reformed, filled with evil forces to be abolished, and they saw no reason to suppose that they had wholly succeeded in the abolition; the duty was unchanged.Here, as always, Adams tells his story in a third-person voice that can seem almost extraplanetary in its detachment. Yet there's also an undercurrent of melancholy and amusement--and wonder at the specific details of what was already a lost world.
Continuing his uphill conquest of the learning curve, Adams attended Harvard, which didn't do much for him. ("The chief wonder of education is that it does not ruin everybody concerned in it, teachers and taught.") Then, after a beer-and-sausage-scented spell as a graduate student in Berlin, he followed his father to Washington, D.C., in 1860. There he might have remained--bogged down in "the same rude colony ... camped in the same forest, with the same unfinished Greek temples for workrooms, and sloughs for roads"--had not the Civil War sent Adams père et fils to London. Henry sat on the sidelines throughout the conflict, serving as his father's private secretary and anxiously negotiating the minefields of English society. He then returned home and commenced a long career as a journalist, historian, novelist, and peripheral participant in the political process--a kind of mouthpiece for what remained of the New England conscience.
He was not, by any measure but his own, a failure. And the proof of the pudding is The Education of Henry Adams itself, which remains among the oddest and most enlightening books in American literature. It contains thousands of memorable one-liners about politics, morality, culture, and transatlantic relations: "The American mind exasperated the European as a buzz-saw might exasperate a pine forest." There are astonishing glimpses of the high and mighty: "He saw a long, awkward figure; a plain, ploughed face; a mind, absent in part, and in part evidently worried by white kid gloves; features that expressed neither self-satisfaction nor any other familiar Americanism..." (That would be Abraham Lincoln; the "melancholy function" his Inaugural Ball.) But most of all, Adams's book is a brilliant account of how his own sensibility came to be. A literary landmark from the moment it first appeared, the Autobiography confers upon its author precisely that prize he felt had always eluded him: success. --James Marcus

Two arrested in State College area burglary spree
By: WJAC Web Staff
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Police in Centre County have arrested two men on suspicion of committing more than two dozen burglaries throughout the Centre region over the past few months.
State College police filed charges Tuesday against Ryan Reichlin, 39, of State College and Aaron Klinger, 24, for allegedly committing at least 24 burglaries in the borough to feed a heroin habit.
Police said the burglary investigations began in November with help from Ferguson Township police, the Centre County Drug Task Force and the Centre County District Attorney's Office.
Through the investigation, police determined the two men were breaking into homes and stealing items that could be resold to buy heroin in Philadelphia, police said.
Reichlin was charged by State College police with 25 counts of burglary and Klinger was charged with eight counts of burglary, investigators said. Reichlin was also identified as being a part of a 2012 burglary in College Township. Charges were also filed against Reichlin by Ferguson Township police for burglaries in that township.
Reichlin was arraigned and put in the Centre County Correctional Facility. Klinger was already in the Centre County Correctional Facility on unrelated charges and would be arraigned at a later time.

How A Picture Is Worth 1000 Healing Moments
Therapeutic photography can be a useful tool in helping heal a distored self-image. In 2009, the New York Times published an article on this emerging practice of using images as a healing modality. The story, titled "Behind the Scenes: A Camera as Therapy", was written by professional photojournalist Alexandra Avakian. Since Avakian's article, other photographers have also written of similar experiences using the lense to heal the psyche while capturing the physical appearance of a subject. San Francisco-based photographer Katrina Davenport explores this photographic phenomenon as a therapeutic method in the following Q&A.
How do you see photography as a tool for healing people who struggle with body image or a distorted sense of their appearance?
Many times professional photographers can take compelling pictures of people that help them see their true beauty. Every single person is beautiful, and the right photographer can highlight that. In addition, people can learn simple techniques to help them take pictures of themselves that they will like. Photography can be an excellent tool to add to people's healing strategy.
Apart from a clinical diagnosis of Body Dysmorphic Disorder, how come photographs can look dramatically good or bad without anything "wrong" with a person's appearance?
Technically speaking, photographs can look dramatically good or bad because of lighting and angles. If the light is not good, either too dark or two harsh, it can distort how someone looks. And if the photo is taken from a strange angle, it can distort facial and body features. In addition, photographs are often enhanced: either people wear make-up or clothes that flatter them, or they ask the photographer to touch-up the photographs in Photoshop afterward. Most professional photographs have some kind of enhancement going on. And people must realize that most photographs online and in magazines these days are Photoshopped, sometimes heavily.
What ways can photography be used in conjunction with recovery and therapy for people who are unable to look or accept their appearance?
I think self-portraits can be hugely beneficial. Doing an exercise like taking a daily photograph for three months, or challenging yourself to take pictures that are more than just head shots, can be healing. Especially if you put on fun hats, go to interesting locations, and get creative. Many times I'm not happy with photos other take of me, but once I learned how to take flattering self-portraits, I realized that I am actually photogenic! These kinds of exercises are about more than surface beauty...they are about creative a positive relationship with yourself.
Describe the top lighting and posing tips that can help someone take the best photographs of themselves or friends who suffer from poor self image with no basis in fact?

HELENA — State Workers' Compensation Judge Jim Shea of Helena applied Thursday for the vacant justice's seat on the Montana Supreme Court.
Shea, 47, is seeking the seat vacated by former Justice Brian Morris, who resigned his Supreme Court seat last month to become a U.S. District Court judge.
He is the second attorney to apply for the Supreme Court justice's job, joining Amy Poehling Eddy, a Kalispell lawyer, who did so earlier this week.
Shea and two Missoula lawyers — Beth Brennan and former state Sen. Jon Ellingson — said late last year they would seek appointment to the Morris seat when it became vacant.
Attorneys seeking the judgeship must apply with the Judicial Nomination Commission by Feb. 12. After taking public comment and interviewing the candidates, the commission will recommend the names of three to five of the applicants to Gov. Steve Bullock by April 9. Bullock must appoint the justice from that list by May 9.
A Butte native, Shea, 47, has served as the state's workers' compensation judge since 2005 when then-Gov. Brian Schweitzer appointed him to the job. Schweitzer reappointed him in 2011. The Senate confirmed both appointments.
Shea received an undergraduate degree in political science and a law degree, both from the University of Montana.
He worked as a law clerk for U.S. District Judge Paul Hatfield in 1991-1992 and practiced criminal and civil law in Portland for four years while his wife, Kathy, attended graduate school. After their return to Montana, Shea practiced civil law in Missoula from 1996-2005 before his appointment as workers compensation judge.
In response to the application question asking why he wants to be a Supreme Court justice, Shea said:
"A fair and competent judiciary is critical to both the political and economic well-being of this state. Over the past eight-plus years, I have established a statewide reputation as just such a judge. Therefore, when a number of lawyers who practice in the Workers' Compensation Court encouraged me to consider serving on the Supreme Court, it occurred to me that this was a chance to continue serving my state and to do my part to ensure that my daughters have the same opportunity that my wife and I had to return to (or hopefully remain in) Montana."

The power flows aft through a racing-style clutch with upgraded friction materials to a close-ratio six-speed manual, topped by a short-throw shifter, and on back to your choice of limited-slip differentials spinning 3.73:1 gearing. There's a traditional multi-plate locker with carbon-fiber plates, or a Torsen torque-sensing unit. Expect 0 to 60 times in the very low fours.
To set the Boss apart visually, chief designer Darrell Behmer took inspiration from Shinoda's '69 production car as well as the Bud Moore/Parnelli Jones race cars. The front fascia and grille include blocked-off fog lamp openings and a splitter, which is credited with trimming front lift considerably, cribbed from the Boss 302R racecar. A spoiler in the rear complements the look and aero effect of the front spoiler. Finally, the C-stripe and roof panel are painted white or black to coordinate with the chosen paint color (Competition Orange, Performance White, Kona Blue Metallic, Yellow Blaze Metallic or Race Red). Inside, there's a unique steering wheel wrapped in Alcantara, cloth seats with suede-like inserts for lateral grip, and optional Recaro buckets designed by the Mustang team for the GT500 that come bundled with the Torsen diff.
There will be two models, the totally streetable Boss 302, and the track-optimized Boss 302 Laguna Seca, of which a small run has been planned. When the Boss 302 hits the streets, the gauntlet will be considered thrown down once again, but this time, it's likely not just the Camaro that'll have to step up its game.

1999 Mazda Miata MX-5 Problems
A loud ticking noise (hydraulic valve lifter noise) may be heard from the top of the engine, particularly when the engine is still cold. The noise may occur more frequently on higher mileage vehicles; Hydraulic valve lash adjusters may need to be replaced to correct this issue. Following the maintenance schedule for oil changes will also help prevent a recurrence of the noise.
Some models may have a problem where the Check Engine light illuminates indicating an improperly tightened fuel cap. Due to improperly manufactured threads on the fuel filler pipe, the filler pipe may need to be replaced.
Failure of the valve cover gasket can allow engine oil to leak onto the spark plug wires and damage them. The engine will run poorly (misfire) if the spark plug wires fail.

My 1999 Miata has been my only vehicle for 12 years and I have to say it has been the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. When I bought it in 2001, it had just under 16k miles on it. It now has just under 90K miles on it. Other than regular maintenance, it has not had any major problems until now. The water pump is about to go out and that can a major expense due what it entails to get to it...
Bought the car at 35k mi, now has 78k mi. Aside from regular maintenance, this car has been extremely reliable. Idle droop occurred at ~50k, fixed by cleaning the intake manifold. Torn lower shift boot found at 60k which may be contributing to some shift notchiness, but I bet it still shifts better than 95% of all cars out there. Other than that, nothing but miles and miles of smiles.
When you steal a car from the street, it is called Grand Theft Auto; When you steal a car from a dealer, its called being a SHRUDE Operator!!! I stole my 1999 Miata. At $4K, 97K miles, flawless motor, interior/exterior horrid top, it was a good buy. But when someone cut the top on the dealer's lot AND it was replaced by the dealer's insurance AND they only wanted $4K for it---Stick 'em up, here...

Are we really that surprised that she has to doll herself up to walk the dog?
dammit, i almost made it to first!
I would do the dog to Mariah
Wow, its amazing that Mariah could actually take PHONIER pictures than the pnes with the homeless guy. As if she could walk in those shoes! She can barely pose in them.
she looks so awkward with that dog. she's such a fat cow. and pigeon-toed. i liked her so much in 1991.
Doesn't she have a huge NYC apartment that most of us have seen on Cribs? Then again, if I was doing the walk of shame, I would want a dog with me too…"I don't have bed head, the dog had to go!"
wait, didnt she wear this on 106 n park yesterday?
Poor shrinking violet. She's utilizing the "cute doggy" act to get attention. Bet you that dog winds his leash around her stilletos and she flashes the beav again.
dress up to walk your dog is not the problem… dress up to walk your dog and act like the most stupid of the whores, it is, IMO.
Look at that black dude "mad dogging" the dog. Ha. Bad joke.
He kind of looks like Lando Calrisian (sp?).
where are the baggies for the dog's poo?? you can't crap-up manhattan with your friggin dog. i hope she gets a fine. friggin lazy losers who don't pick up after their dogs.
What a tragedy. In the last stages before her age is impossible to hide, Mariah is a MILF except I don't think she's had a cock in years – maybe ever. She is in for one of the rudest wake up calls of all time – either that or paranoid schizophrenia within 2 years.
I always get this dressed up to walk my dog. And, like Mariah, I pose a lot as he makes poopy. What's the problem?
She was learning Chinese recipes and just picked dinner up from the local pet store. Check out the picture with the muscle dude, he's like "I can't believe she's gonna eat that shit"…….
in the 2nd photo it looks like she's "presenting" to the guy in the striped shirt. or to anyone behind her…
I want to see the picture of her bending over and picking up a steaming pile of dog crap.
Good thing she's not wearing nylons. Those thighs rubbing together could start a huge forest fire.
I wonder if the dog is a half-breed like Mariah.
Could she be any more OBESE??? Her dress looks like sausage casing to her mounds of fat. She could learn a thing or two from Nicole Ritchie.
What a POSER!
Guy in striped shirt is there for picking up dog poo, and he's not too happy about it. He also is the one who wipes Mariah's ass for her.
Looks like she's a six-fingered Thalidomide baby in the first pic. And what's with the dog's cock? TCLT(dog's)C.
Stripe in the 3rd picture looks PISSED. Like that dog is a football and he's Charlie Brown. Except that Mariah is no Lucy, Lucy was way hotter.
look at him, he's a mutt! he's white with a BROWN EAR. looks to be untrained; he's all over the place and his head is hanging. and mariah's holding the leash at arm's-length like she's never held a leash before.
It was raining in Baltimore the other day and I was headed to my Korean friends house. When I got there him and his cousins asked if it was hard to see while I was driving. I told them it was raining "cats and dogs" out there. For some reason they all grabbed forks and knives and ran outside………
and just think… she just insured her legs for $1BILLION… i can't imagine how much it would cost to insure that fat ass..
Maybe she's wearing those spiky heels and walking the dog in the hopes that the dog will trip her up, thereby causing her to fall and break a leg or 2, and thereby allowing her to collect the $1 billion in leg insurance.
I'd regret it, but I'd hit dat. Fat girlz need lovin; too.
if i saw her on the street i would just think she was another nutjob on the streets on new york
she wises so bad she could've been a supermodel. fat ho.
Good call, MotherOfPearl.
In the first picture she looks like she has to piss worse than the dog. Either that, or her knees have kung-fu grip. Which is probably the case, because I read somewhere that she actually has hands on the ends of them.
She is so wearing a girdle!
Only Mimi can make walking a dog look sexy. We need to see more sexy everyday pictures, like Mimi doing laundry, Mimi changing a tire, or Mimi frantically searching for a bathroom because she has the runs.
Why is there a giant banana walking a dog?
The only way this could not be a photo op would be if she was seen scooping up the dog's poo and carrying it home in the little blue bag. But since the woman can't even drink out of a straw by herself there's no way she scoops the doop.
She is a fat ugly cow. All those mean kids from school she talked about on Oprah were absolutely right. Her legs loog like pillow cases full of chocolate milk.
@21 Please don't ask that because I'm sure its possible, and she would probably keep dressing like a 5 dollar ho.
BTW, isn't she married to that skinny-ass douche from Jailbreak?
What a bitch! The dog, too.
Oh, she's not that attractive as celebs go. She's a little fat. But here in the real world, we guys are mostly looking to thoroughly boof a chick with jugs like that. It's just what we do and how we are wired.
If you gotta problem with that, sorry.
She looks like a taxi, only bigger.
When people finally figure out her singing is horrid she has a bright career ahead of her as a linebacker. Look at her beefy shoulders.
Stacey and Clinton have always said no mini skirts after 35… I'm sure they'd say no sausage casing EVER……
She'll need a lot stronger leash than that if she starts singing.
What's funny is that you don't get to see the pictures where she unhinges her jaw and eats the dog, her bodyguard, a broken parking meter and the lower half of her left arm. Fatty.
but at any cost? what if the cost is syphilis? or chlamydia? i'm afraid that's what we're talking here.
infested receptacle.
These are even more phoney than her beach photos with the dog. Who walks their dog in 5 inch heels. And…..this just in, Here is STar Johnes apt. that is for sale. Scan through the pics to see just how tacky it is. I would like to point out the bathroom tile and the zebra striped furniture…
that's what the black guys are there for…
alright said it…
This bitch uses that dog as a ploy every time she wants attention. I remember a similar photo of her in a bikini walking it on the beach in the Bahamas or some shit. I also just heard she's getting ready to go on tour. She's just using the dog as a publicity opportunity. I'm sure she has someone who gets the pooper scooper duty. Lucky bastard.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
UNITED STATES/AMERICAS-Zero-surprise Principle Keeps Taiwan-u.S. Ties On Smooth Track

Taipei, Aug. 25 (CNA) -- President Ma Ying-jeou said Thursday that the
government has been adopting a principle of "no surprise and a low
profile" to keep its relations with the United States on an even keel and
elevating them to a new level.
The president made the remarks while meeting a group of foreign
dignitaries led by Gerald Connolly (D-VA), a leader of the Congressional
Taiwan Caucus, a bipartisan group that supports Taiwan.Ma said Connolly,
as a leader of the 150-member Taiwan Caucus, has always been a staunch
supporter of the Republic of China and that his group has staged many
activities to advocate Taiwanese interests.Connolly, in his capacity as
co-chair of the Taiwan Caucus, wrote a letter to President Barack Obama
early this year, when Chinese President Hu Jintao visited the White House,
urging Obama not to sacrifice Taiwan's interests while engaging with
China.Connolly joined the House's Foreign Affairs Committee to propose a
resolution in July urging the U.S. government to sell F-16 C/D fighters to
Taiwan, a proposal that was approved, according to Ma.He said Connolly's
efforts on many occasions in support of the ROC's security and well-being
were "admirable." Ma recalled that since he became president three years
ago, Taiwan has worked hard to improve its ties with mainland China --
efforts that have won the praise of Obama and other senior U.S. officials,
who have said the improved Taiwan-China ties have been conducive to
lessening tensions across the Taiwan Strait as well as stabilizing the
regional situation.As a result of the improved cross-strait relations, Ma
said, Taiwan has been able to expand its participat ion in international
activities, creating a benevolent cycle in the development of cross-strait
ties and the expansion of Taiwan's international space.Also, he continued,
Taiwan-U.S. ties have been improved and even elevated to a new level over
the past three years as both sides have resumed high-level mutual trust.He
predicted that the Taiwan Caucus will keep playing a critical role in
helping to realize a trade and investment framework agreement, a
visa-waiver program and an extradition deal with the United
States.(Description of Source: Taipei Central News Agency in English --

League randomly ignoring players after a game
After every game I play, I get a message "XXX has been ignored," where XXX is a summoner I was playing with/against. It occasionally blocks more than one person as well. I don't know why it does it, and no, I am *not* clicking anything after the game is over either, it happens when the AIR client pops back up. It's really annoying to have to re-add my friends all the time. :/
If you put them on ignore during the game by clicking the speech bubble in the scoreboard, then that puts them on your ignore list after the game. if you do it to a friend that unfriends them and puts them in the ignore list
I know that, but I'm not ignoring people in game. It just happens randomly, for no reason.

Happy Tales
Good thing his name wasn't Sydney!
Juneau entered our lives seven years ago to the day. Upon his adoption, we had no idea of the tremendous impact he would have on our lives.
We went to the Dumb Friends League one day to look at dogs. My (now) husband had always wanted a husky, and so our search began. We saw Juneau and read that he was a "special-needs dog." Well, I'm a sucker for the dogs that need an extra spoonful of lovin', and so we had to meet Juneau. His special need was that he had a fresh wound (now scar) on his face from another dog. He really just didn't want you to touch his face, but was game for a belly rub.

"Melissa?" Dr. Zeker lightly stroked his chin between his right thumb and the crook of the forefinger. Brugh Joy told me that gesture invokes the Sage, with his wisp of white beard on the chin, which he pulls in contemplation. "She gave you the good review? Then by all means, shoot somebody in the third act."
"Jim gave me a good review also."
"Two good reviews, then." There was an inflection of humor in his voice, but he sensed he was close to a line and took a more earnest tone. "I like it, myself," he said, "the narrative exploding into a collage after an evolutionary leap. But, midgets and trolls and Indians ... it's about as politically correct as panda fur ..."
"Are you an art expert on top of everything else?" I asked. We were drinking Fat Tire outside the Bohemian Cigar Store, watching four Chinese boys playing frisbee in Washington Square. On the other side of the park the spires of Saints Peter and Paul elevated my gaze toward the northern sky, causing images to dance in my head.
To amuse himself, Dr. Zeker transformed into a distinguished old art expert confronting a curator. "What do you mean, in my opinion? I don't have an opinion; I know. That's why you should call me before you buy instead of after. The question you must ask yourself is, do you wish to build on a foundation of opinion, or do you prefer a foundation of knowledge? It seems like an obvious choice, doesn't it? But then you do the price comparison."
Once he is in character it's not him anymore. His creations are authentic and seemingly autonomous. On the other hand, he conjures or dismisses them at his whim. He dismissed the art expert with a chuckle and a gesture of his right palm, the gesture of releasing a captured bird back into her sky.
When we'd finished with drinking ale we crossed Union, and wandered, dressed in our gray suits and carrying our walking sticks, through sunbathers and jugglers and gaggles of children and parents, toward the northeast corner, where a group of students were being instructed in Kendo, the way of the sword, by an old man whose eyes were diamonds sparkling in the early afternoon sunlight. "The old Kendo Master looks like you," I said. "I mean, if you were Japanese. Your hair is the same as his."
"Maybe the eyes, too," he said. He was pleased with my comparing him to the old swordsman. Dr Zecker isn't impervious to flattery. I noticed that his right hand was continually pulling the sword from his walking stick, just a little ways, as if he was practicing drawing it, then returning it fully to the sheath.
I felt a sense of foreboding. I had written myself into a corner, having assumed I could make Dr. Zeker stab another character on my whim, but he was on to me. I'd said if a gun is introduced in the first act it has to go off in the third, but it wasn't a gun in the first act. It was ... two identical swords ...
"En garde!"
He advanced for a quick kill but I anticipated him and parried the thrust. We circled each other, looking for a flaw in the defense.
"It's the third act," he said, "and you aren't going to make me stab some random bystander just to find closure."
"Closure? You want closure?" I lunged, but he was nimble as a wasp. We were so evenly matched neither could press an advantage without its being turned to retreat. Our new suit jackets were being reduced to rags as the blades tore the fine wool and cotton, and sometimes the flesh, until the blood soaked into my black shirt, rouge on Aida, and bloomed scarlet on his white one.
"Show off," I said.
"Bloviator," he shot back.

Raving for the Congo and the Kids
Photo: Cochrane Williams
by John Oseid
These days in Manhattan's Flatiron District, you can't stroll past two buildings in a row without stumbling upon a lounge party. But few events have the verve--or purpose--as the one I attended last weekend at Citrine. Djembe drum master Vado Diomande kicked off the party by playing rhythms used in sacred Ivorian traditions. Then DJ mOma took over and spun hours of African pop, reggae, and hip-hop to raise funds for underprivileged Congolese girls' educations.
Two years ago Cypriot/Congolese fashion model Noëlla Coursaris started the Georges Malaika Foundation (it's named for her father). The GMF began sponsoring its first group of sixteen girls last year, covering their tuition, supplies, uniforms, and meals. At the event, I learned that $10 covers a student's breakfast and lunch for a week, $50 gets someone a week of education, and $500 can pay for a whole year of hitting the books. The foundation's ultimate goal is to build a school big enough to serve 300 girls by 2010.
The evening, sponsored in part by my friends from the downtown multicultural magazine Trace, was organized by l'Altruist, a fund-raising group launched by young Sudanese-American professionals. Here's my favorite part: All proceeds go to GMF projects. An upcoming generation of Americans with pan-African roots--Somali designers, Ethiopian models, Guinean stylists, and even West Indian bankers--are dedicated to giving back on a micro level and unleashing the enormous potential of the continent. Sometimes putting your hands in the air is the right way to effect change.
More music:
* Ivoirian djembe drummer Vado Diomande founded the Kotchegna Dance Company in the mid-nineties, and they have performed at such venues as Lincoln Center. If you're dying to learn the djembe, Diomande teaches drumming and he also makes and repairs drums.
* When DJ mOma had the crowd dancing to Magic System's "Premier Gaou," he took me back some years to the great African nightclubs in Paris where I first heard the song. Here's the clip to one of the francophone world's biggest hits ever.
* The Congo's great contribution to pop music is the signature guitar riffs in soukous music that are being imitated around the world. Last fall I caught soukous veteran Kanda Bongo Man in concert.
* Boom Box: An unabashed gusto for music of the world
